Parks And Recreation's executive producer Michael Schur has admitted that he does not know when the show will return.

The NBC comedy was renewed for a third season earlier this year but the network decided to delay airing it until midseason.

Speaking to E! Online, Schur explained that he is not sure when the new season will premiere.

"It's pretty safe to say that the show will be on in January or February," he said. "We've been given every indication that the show is coming on soon, [but] we really don't know when we're returning yet. My gut says we're going to know something in the next few days."

Schur also admitted that he is slightly concerned that the show will have lost momentum in the big gap between seasons.

"We really feel like we figured some stuff out toward the end of the first season and in the beginning of the second season, and I was very happy with the creative direction of the show," he said. "Everybody seemed to really gel last year. But of course any time you're not on the air, you run the risk of people forgetting about you - that's the sad thing about the midseason show.

"The first chunk of episodes we made way back when is really strong and really funny, and hopefully that will help offset the lengthy time we haven't been around."
